Question

how do i round off a function.

i have the following code in python

def round(x,n):
    return round(x,n)

i get the following error

>>> round(3,98.9898, 2)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#25>", line 1, in <module>
round(3,98.9898, 2)
TypeError: round() takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)

i think the comma is creating the problem

any suggestions…. please thanks

i tried this.

def round(x,n):    
    return round(float(x.replace(",", "")),n)

no luck.

Answer 1

Two issues:

• round(3,98.9898, 2) is code that you enter. Omit the comma yourself and your problem goes away. Otherwise give us more info about your problem.

• def round(x, n): return round(x, n)
  Even if you fix your function call, you’ll most likely end up with RuntimeError due to maximum recursion. Rename your function to something other than round.
